Check that you have a line in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets with your username and password for your account on your ISP. It's probably already been put there if WVDIAL works, though. Try adding 'pppd-options user xxxxxxxx' to your diald.conf, or add the 'user xxxxxxxx' to any existing pppd-options line where xxxxxxxx is your username on your ISP. This tells pppd which username/password to use from pap-secrets to authenticate you. If that doesn't work, add 'debug' to the pppd-options and look in the logs for more clues. Check 'man pppd' for the 'user' and 'name' options - perhaps pppd is picking the wrong entry from pap-secrets or chap-secrets for some reason.
